Right from the start I always believed that this impulsive gesture by Anelka was nothing like the media derision that it was receiving.Yes I believe that Anelka is neither racist or anti-semitic,The gesture itself seems to have been hijacked by others who might not be as innocent with their intentions as Annelka- thus he gets tarred with the same brush.It is very sad that all this has happened in what is proving to be a turbulent and troubled season for the Baggies commencing with the ill timed and poorly thought out sacking of Steve Clarke.

On the pitch and off it,we always manage to shoot ourselves in the foot at times.I,for one,will be glad to see the end

to this season- even if we are left to start all over again in the Championship,heaven forbid.
